David, you want to read the entire blogpost ;-) "I made this up, of course, but not entirely. A journal of molecular biology has revised its submission guidelines such that acceptance is conditional upon simultaneous wikification of the submitted research. Go here for a report and preliminary discussion. I wish it were true that JBL and similar journals had already followed suit. It hasn't happened – yet."

For other Gmail users, I would have politely recommended the new Labs feature "Mail Goggles" (in a nutshell: Makes you solve mathematical problems before allowing you to send the message, thus minimising the impact of email sent under the influence of...whatever). But I presume, for Maths students, someone would need to code a slightly different tool... maybe require a translation of 10 random lines of Tacitus. M. -- Michael Bimmler mbimmler(a)gmail.com

I guess you missed the sentence: "I made this up of course,[...]" and pretty broad clues along the way... Yours, Jussi-Ville Heiskanen

Could as easily repose the question using http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/publish_in_wikipedia_or_perish.php as the reference point. Nathan

I do not think the encyclopedia is the best way to promote literature of this kind. The web? Sure. Everybody on the internet has publishing capacity on the web. The encyclopedia is for facts that are really not open to dispute. wikisources or wikimedia commons seem like more appropriate venues if not a USENET newsgroup, like alt.religion.* "David Gerard" <dgerard(a)gmail.com> wrote in message news:fbad4e140901020504w67cf6cf9p76f59248b3cbe31a@mail.gmail.com...

It does not specify which part is fabricated. Even if the whole idea that wikification could be made compulsory for publication in the JBL is a fabrication, it is still a recommendation from one author. wikiquote and wikisophia seem to be the most appropriate venues.

Wikiquote seems to be the most appropriate venue.
